Giddy Paperie

The mother-daughter team behind Giddy Paperie has long been a creative duo in the worlds of stationery, art, and licensed products. Leslie Chalfont has been painting and designing for a lifetime, drawing inspiration from travel, celebrations, and her home state of Florida. Her work is often described as whimsical and colorful, with designs that have appeared on tabletop items, home décor, and now needlepoint.

Lauren has built her career in marketing and public relations, working with Disney, Darden Restaurants, wineries, and more. Together, they blend their creativity and shared interests into ongoing conversations that inspire their needlepoint designs, collections, and finishing ideas.

Both Lauren and Leslie live in the Orlando area. Lauren enjoys playing tennis, Mah Jongg, and chasing after her three-year-old daughter. Leslie is always up for a round of golf, a game of Mah Jongg, and time spent with her granddaughter.
